[quote:Anonymous Coward 17399035:MV8yMDYxMTc1XzM0Njc1Njk5X0M5RUY4QUY0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 28344712:MV8yMDYxMTc1XzM0Njc0NTA3XzQ1NkZDNTg2] During WW2, messages to and from spies were often encoded using a "One-Time Pad". Essentially, the sender and receiver would agree on which code page to use on any given day to encrypt/decrypt a message. The code page from the pad would only be used once, then destroyed. Code strings were made up of genuinely random letter sequences, selected by teams of women rolling dice, or flipping coins, all day. The message would typically be split up into 5-symbol groups, including punctuation. Each character of a group would be added to the corresponding character on the code page, eg. A + K would result in L, for example. Decryption was the reverse of this, subtracting the code page character from the encrypted message character. If it is a one-time message, [b]then, without the original code page from the one-time pad, it is truly unbreakable[/b]. :drevil: [/quote] This sounds correct! [/quote]
Original Message
Britain's top code-breakers say they are stumped by a secret code found on the leg of a dead pigeon.
The remains of the bird were found in a chimney in Surrey with a message from World War II attached.
